    Abstract Objectives: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU) and healthy controls. To our knowledge, this is the first study investigate HIF-1α and IMA levels in COVID-19 patients in ICUs and comparing them with a healthy control group. For this reason, our study is original and will contribute to the literature.
    Methods: A total of 70 intensive care patients diagnosed with COVID-19, and 72 healthy controls were included in the study.
    Results: When we compared the patient and healthy control group; there were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of age and gender (p>0.05). No exitus was observed in the patient group. We found weak correlation between HIF-1α and IMA (r: 0.320). However, there were statistically significant differences in HIF-1α and IMA levels in the patient group. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve demonstrated an area under curve (AUC) value of 0.651 for HIF-1α and 0.937 for IMA.
    Conclusions: The HIF-1α and IMA levels were significantly higher among COVID-19 patients in ICU compared with healthy controls. HIF-1α and IMA levels can be used as reliable markers for the prognosis of COVID-19.

    Abstract The aim of study was to evaluate the lactate/ albumin ratio, procalcitonin (ProCT) and C reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with sepsis. For the study, 207 patients with sepsis who were treated in intensive care between January 1st, 2016 and January 1st, 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients age, sex, diagnosis for hospitalization, lactate levels during the admission (lactate 1) and discharge (lactate 2), CRP, ProCT and albumin, levels registered in patients files were recorded from the hospital automation system and their effect on the mortality was statistically analyzed. The patients were grouped as those aged older than 65 and younger than 65, and those with and without mortality. The study included 207 patients diagnosed with sepsis (96 female, 111 male). ProCT levels were found significantly higher in the group older than 65 in the present study. In this study, according to the data obtained, there was no difference in lactate1/albumin and lactate2/albumin ratio in terms of age groups and sex. However, lactate1/albumin and lactate2/ albumin ratio were significantly higher in the group with mortality than the group without mortality. According to our ROC analysis results; The AUC for lactate1, lactate2, lactate1/albumin and lactate2/albumin ratio was 0.649, 0.680, 0.690, 0.771, respectively. The lactate/albumin ratio is a readily available parameter with consistently better prognostic performance than initial serum lactate for in-hospital mortality in adult patients with sepsis. Raised lactate/albumin ratio showed significant association with increased mortality in patients with sepsis. [Med-Science 2021; 10(3.000): 939-45]

    Abstract Among  the most common causes of nasal congestion in childhood is adenoid hypertrophy (AH) which leads to hypoxia. In this study, we studied plasma concentrations of hypoxia induced factor-1α (HIF-1α) in children undergoing adenoidectomy. The study included a total of 86 participants: 39 patients with AH and 47 healthy individuals. Serum HIF-1α levels (ng/mL) were measured by ELISA. HIF-1α concentrations were compared to the adenoid-nasopharyngeal ratio (ANR) of patients with AH, as recorded in the medical records. We found significantly higher concentrations of HIF-1α (0.30 ± 0.47 ng/mL) in patients with AH as compared to healthy controls (0.24 ± 0.07 ng/mL,

    Abstract Background: Recent reports have described inherent problems with androgen immunoassays compared with mass spectrometry analyses. In this study, a new liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed according to CLSI rules. The developed method was compared with two immunoassay methods, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay (RIA).
    Methods: After liquid-liquid extraction, a Shimadzu Prominence LC unit coupled to an ABSCIEX API 3200 mass spectrometer with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization was used to quantify serum androstenedione levels. Serum androstenedione results taken from tandem mass spectrometry were compared with the immunoassays.
    Results: The androstenedione assay was linear up to 50 ng/mL. Lower limit of quantitation and lower limit of detection were 0.195 ng/mL and 0.097 ng/mL, respectively. This method was not affected by matrix effect and other steroid hormone interferences. In this study, the obtained recovery was 69 - 99%, carryover value was determined as 0.026 ng/mL. According to the results of an interference study, androstenedione bias % did not exceed the limit of allowable bias % and 88.7% recovery was acquired for androstenedione. In the LC-MS/MS and ELISA comparison study, the slope value was found as 18.412, intercept -22.87, and r2 value as 0.1033. In the LC-MS/MS and RIA comparison study, slope value was found as 1.085, intercept 0.4541, and r2 value as 0.3712. In the RIA and ELISA comparison study, slope value was found as 9.57, intercept -15.5, and r2 value as 0.19.
    Conclusions: The LC-MS/MS provides agreement with the results of radioimmunoassay but not with ELISA. This method offers better selectivity compared to immunoassay systems.

    Abstract When analyzing complex scenes, humans often focus their attention on an object at a particular spatial location. The ability to decode the attended spatial location would facilitate brain computer interfaces for complex scene analysis (CSA). Here, we investigated capability of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to decode audio-visual spatial attention in the presence of competing stimuli from multiple locations. We targeted dorsal frontoparietal network including frontal eye field (FEF) and intra-parietal sulcus (IPS) as well as superior temporal gyrus/planum temporal (STG/PT). They all were shown in previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies to be activated by auditory, visual, or audio-visual spatial tasks. To date, fNIRS has not been applied to decode auditory and visual-spatial attention during CSA, and thus, no such dataset exists yet. This report provides an open-access fNIRS dataset that can be used to develop, test, and compare machine learning algorithms for classifying attended locations based on the fNIRS signals on a single trial basis.

    Abstract Objective: Masked hypertension is a clinical condition, the importance of which is agreed in recent years and which is characterized by increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity and is thought to be important endothelial dysfunction in the pathophysiology. Plasma total homocysteine levels are accepted as a major independent biomarker for endothelial dysfunction and/or a contributor to hypertension and coronary artery disease. In this study, we aimed to measure the level of serum homocysteine and to evaluate the relationship between the parameters of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with masked hypertension.
    Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 37 subjects with normal blood pressure, 30 with masked-hypertension and 27 patients with obvious hypertension. Masked hypertension (MHT) was defined as office blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg and mean daytime ambulatory systolic blood pressure in 24 hours monitoring ≥135/85 mm Hg. Homocysteine levels of the subjects were measured by using HPLC system with fluorescent detector. Lipid parameters were measured by routine methods. Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis.
    Results: In the analysis of homocysteine, it was observed that there was no difference between the control group and patients with MHT. Patients with high blood pressure showed higher homocysteine levels when compared to MHT (p=0.02). Homocysteine levels showed a weak positive correlation with average systolic blood pressure (r=0.335, p=0.043). Homocysteine levels were higher in smokers than non-smokers. compared with non-smokers group in all participants (p=0.036).
    Conclusion: We have reached the opinion that in the individuals with no obvious health problems but with MHT, homocysteine levels may not have any significant effect upon high blood pressure levels.

    Abstract The global population growth has significantly impacted energy and raw material consumption, unmatched since the Industrial Revolution. Among metals, aluminium ranks second only to steel, with annual production exceeding 69 million tonnes. Due to its high demand, bauxite, the primary ore from which aluminium is extracted, is now classified as a critical material in the EU and the US, given the potential risk of supply shortages for essential applications. Geographical and production challenges surround bauxite, presenting geo-economic and environmental challenges. A critical concern in aluminium production is managing by-products, notably red mud, a bauxite residue, generating over 175 million tonnes annually worldwide. Comprehensive bibliometric research is imperative due to the high amount of bibliographical resources related to this topic, encompassing circular economy, re-valorisation, sustainability, and disposal. This study employs bibliometric methods to assess red mud valorisation, offering insights into research topics, influential authors, and key journals, shedding light on the past, present, and future of red mud research. Such bibliometric analysis not only highlights the current state of the field but also serves as a valuable tool for decision-making, enabling researchers and policymakers to identify trends, gaps, and areas for further exploration, fostering informed and sustainable advancements in the by-products of the aluminium industry.
